This is so beautiful and really captures that still, contemplative moment of looking at the snow late at night ❤️ I remember this most vividly on nights when I was up with the baby, feeling a special connection with those plow drivers :)

I can almost see you looking out the window, babe in arms. 💕

I so love that I can listen to you read this while following along. Stunning. I love these lines -

"starlight, or a ripple of wind

that sends silver maple branches

tapping at my window."

Oh friend...I miss you, too ❤️ Maybe it's time for a Zoom meeting again. I will be getting workshopped at next week's Office Hours. Maybe I'll see you there😊

Beautiful, Sue Ann. There is a sacredness to middle of the night antics, and I confess, I’ve enjoyed a few sessions of my own lately.

I suspect there will be many more night stalkers in the weeks ahead. 💕

I love this poem. It deeply resonates. I’ve been waking at 430 am and often not going back to sleep at all. “Night stalkers wanting to sweep streets .. an ocean of longing, first light.” Just beautiful!
